It was a stormy day at Kadic academy, the rain was pouring and the thunder was booming. Lighting was striking and children were running to their classes as fast as they could. The storm seemed to come from nowhere and that worried Jeremy quite a bit. Yumi and Ulrich were in Jeremy's room; in case of any emergency they'd run and warn the rest of the gang as soon as they could.
"Ok… I'm running the super scan now. We'll know if this storm is either something XANA came up with or just a freak storm in just a few moments." Jeremy sighed, "This is getting to be too much…" he sighed and slumped in his chair. Jeremy opened his eyes and looked at Ulrich and Yumi, who seemed to be avoiding each other. "You… two OK?" He asked.
"Wh-Who us? Yeah! We're fine Jeremy!" Ulrich forced a smile, as did Yumi.
Jeremy cocked an eye brow but rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the super scan. His computer began beeping and brought up the activated tower "Ah hah! I knew it! OK guys, there's a tower activated in the forest sector. Go warn the others. I'm going to pack up a few things here and head to the factory."
"Got it." Yumi answered and ran out of the room and Ulrich followed.
The thunder began to get louder and the lighting strikes fiercer.
Jeremy began to grab a few of his books and began to put them into his backpack, when suddenly his computer started beeping again. His head rose as he looked at his computer. "Wh…what?" He got up onto his chair and looked closer. "WHAT?" He quickly grabbed his phone and called Yumi.
"Yeah Jeremy? What's up?" She asked as she began to run towards Odds class.
"Yumi… T-Two towers have been activated! This one's in the Ice sector!" Jeremy shouted.
She stopped, "What? Two? How is that even possible?"
"I don't know Yumi, but this can't be good! XANA's got more power this time!"
She picked up her pace and began to run towards Odds class as fast as she could. She opened the door to his class, just as she did so the power went out.
"Ms. Ishiyama! What is the meaning of this?" Asked Mrs. Hertz.
"Mrs. Hertz, the principal asked that I escort Odd to him. It's very urgent." She lied, well… SORT of lied…
"Well… well fine, Odd, you're excused." She motioned for Odd to leave the room.
"Woohoo!" He jumped up and ran out of the class as fast as he could, slamming the door.
Mrs. Hertz rolled her eyes and went back to teaching. "and if you turn book to page 54…"
"So what's wrong Yumi, am I in trouble?" Odd asked.
"No you doof, Two towers have been activated!" She shouted.
"Wh-What? Two?" Odd jumped. "B-But that's impossible!"
"apparently not!" She answered, "Now c'mon! We have to warn the others!"
Ulrich had gotten ahold of Knuckles, who were running to warn Shadow and Aelita.
Jeremy was running tests to see if the super scan hadn't malfunctioned, he wanted to make SURE that there was a second tower activation. "This can't be right, it just can't be…" He hit more keys as the super scan began to beep once more. "No! NO! A third tower? That's outrageous!" Jeremy was astonished, XANA had never activated any more than 1 tower but now he's up to three!
The thunder got even louder than before and the lighting strikes became more frequent. A bolt struck a power line, causing the school's power to go out.
The group had all gotten together, even Amy, although she was still depressed. She was beginning to get frightened from all of the commotion. "This doesn't look good…" Tails muttered.
Ever since XANA escaped into the internet his power had gotten so much stronger, there seemed to be no limit to what he could do.
Yumi's phone rang. "Hold on second guys, this might be urgent." The group was about to head into the forest. "Jeremy, what's going on? The storm has gotten even worse than before!"
Jeremy didn't bother answering her, "Yumi… F… FOUR TOWERS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED!" Jeremy shouted.
"What?"
Just then a lighting strike struck the ground near the group and blew them all away. Replacing the strike was a beam of light that sparked and grew.
"What's going on?" Ulrich shouted.
The entire school was watching the courtyard as the beam of light grew brighter and brighter. They ignored the rain as the students and teachers, even the principal watched the sky and the beam of light.
"Something's coming out!" Shadow shouted as a gust of wind blew across the ground. He used his arm to shield him from the fierce wind.
A large black charred fist mixed with Magma erupted from the left side of the beam; a black and red sword arm with the XANA symbol emerged from the right side.
"It-It can't be!" Odd was frozen with fear, unable to do anything but watch in horror.
Jeremy was watching from his window, not even paying attention to the super scan anymore.
A loud groan erupted and everyone clutched their ears to shield them. The groan shook and broke some windows and caused the ground to even crack slightly.
The beam exploded, sending small bolts of electricity all over the school. Emerging from the beam was the monstrosity known only as the Kolossus, XANA's strongest and fiercest monster.
"We-We can't fight that thing! Not here!" Aelita shouted.
The beast roared as the students and teachers ran for their lives. It slammed its gigantic sword arm into the cafeteria, cutting it in half.
"How is this even possible? XANA needs the scanners to virtualize something!" Ulrich shouted.
"That's not entirely true!" Jeremy came running towards them with his laptop. "XANA activated four towers which is what caused this storm! With all the power from the activated towers, combined with the power in this storm, he was able to manipulate it like a scanner! It sounds farfetched, but that's the ONLY explanation I can come up with!"
Ulrich looked up at the monstrosity. "How are we supposed to get past that thing, it's blocking our way to the factory! And we can't just leave it here! It's bound to kill people!"
"Not on my watch!" A voice shouted.
A golden light burst across the sky and flew directly into the giant monster. It roared as it took a step back that shook the ground.
"Is that—"Jeremy began but was cut off by Amy. "IT'S SONIC!" She shouted with glee.
"Heh!" He turned around and floated in the sky, shining brightly. "Jeremy! You guys deal with XANA, I'll teach this big bully a lesson he won't soon forget!" He flew back and burst forward yet again, launching another devastating blow to the monster, who stumbled backwards.
The students and teachers cheered as sonic flew around, fighting for their safety. "heh… Is that all you got?" He smirked. And dashed towards the beast once more, but this time it threw its sword arm up and smacked sonic into the air.
Jeremy and the others ran into the forest and head towards the factory.
"Hey, why was sonic gold?" Odd asked.
"He's super sonic!" Amy said in a dreamy voice.
"It happens when he's got all seven chaos emeralds, he's able to become super sonic! A powerful form that gives him super speed, super strength and a cockier attitude then before… He usually does it in the nick of time to… what a show off…" Knuckles smiled. "But without super sonic, I don't know where we would be." Knuckles looked back and laughed.
They opened the hole that lead to the sewers and jumped inside. "Are you sure sonic can handle the Kolossus by himself?" Jeremy asked.
"More than likely, regardless of that fact, considering there are four towers to deactivate, all of us should go to lyoko, and secure the area for Aelita." Shadow said as they walked into the elevator leading to the super computer.
"I'll have to send you all three at a time, so get ready to go!" Jeremy said as him and tails walked into the super computer room. "Good luck." Jeremy said as the door closed.
"This is Scarlet Garcia reporting live from Kadic academy!" Said the reporter. "Here at the academy a fight for the safety of this school and the residents of this city is going down as a golden hero fights off this giant monstrosity!"
"HAH!" Sonic shouted throwing a kick to the monsters face.
It stumbled backwards but retaliated by launching its fist towards sonic. It struck him and smashed him into the hard ground.
"AAGGH!" he shouted.
The crowd went silent. "URRGH… RAAAGGHH!" Sonic yelled. "AAAAAHH!" He had his hands on the Kolossus' fist. He flew directly up wards and pushed it up unto the air. "SLAM DUNK!" He let go, flew up, and spiked the monster into the ground. The crowd cheered once again, louder than before.
But the Kolossus stood up once more; XANA was determined to rid himself of the nuisance of sonic and his friends.
"You'll have to try harder than that if you want to get rid of me!" He smirked.
Lightning struck the Kolossus. It then launched its sword faster than before!
"Whoa!" Sonic flew out of its path in time, but looked back. "That's not good…" He built up energy. "Let's see how you handle my sonic speed!" He flew back and forth, striking the Kolossus each time. Each attack was stronger than the last strike.
"We don't know who this golden hero is, but whoever he is. We thank you!" She shouted looking up at the fight.
The Kolossus threw its fist towards sonic once more, he smashed his hands onto the top of its fist and pushed the fists trajectory out of his direction. Sonic flipped after wards and smashed his elbow into the monsters torso. The monster groaned and grabbed sonic. It began to squeeze him as hard as he could.
"A-Aacck!" Sonic's eyes were clenched as he struggled to get out of its grasp. One of his eyelids cracked open, he looked at the beasts face and then down to the humans he was protecting. "I-I won't… give… UP!" He burst from its clutches and up into the air.
Shadow, Odd and Ulrich were virtualized first. Yumi, Amy and Aelita were next. Knuckles was the last one in.
"OK guys, this is going to be our biggest battle yet, so every point counts! Stay on your guard! We can't afford any mess ups! Four towers is our target, and with four towers, XANA has monsters to spare." Jeremy urged. "Are you all ready?"
They all looked at each other. "Yeeup. Let's get this show on the road Jeremy!" Odd shouted.
"Great. I'll virtualize your vehicles now guys!" Jeremy hit a few keys and sure enough, their vehicles were virtualized.
Odd, Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita all jumped onto their respective vehicles.
The group was in the ice sector, they didn't have to ride very far. They stopped a few hundred feet away from the activated tower.
Guarding the tower was an army of monsters larger than any encounter ever seen before, and leading the group was none other than blue monstrosity himself.
Metal sonic.
"This… is where you lose." Metal sonic looked at the group of heroes.
There were krabs, Bloks, Megatanks, Hornets and even Tarantula's.
"He really pulled out all the stops for this one…" shadow looked at the army. "Then this is our stand… Get ready to FIGHT!" shadow clenched his fist. "When I begin, you strike! Ready?"
Everybody got into a stance to fight.
"Chaos… CONTROL!" Everything slowed down except for the group, who dashed towards their enemy.
"I can only hold chaos control for ten seconds! Do as much damage as you can!" Shadow shouted.
But even in chaos control, Metal sonic was still able to move, he burst forward, at a normal speed.
"Super sprint!" Ulrich shouted, running into the XANA army.
"Hyyaaah!" Yumi threw her deadly fans into the XANA army taking down several of XANA's monsters.
"URRGH… AAGH!" Shadow released Chaos control, ten of his life points lost due to Chaos control's limitations (a life point lost every second it's used).
"DIE!" metal zoomed past Ulrich and Yumi and went straight for Aelita, before he was playing around with them, now; he was here to end it all.
"Time for a KNUCKLE SANDWHICH!" Knuckles shouted as he smashed his fist into metal's face.
"RRAAAGGHH!" metal zoomed along the ice, rolled and landed on all fours. He looked up and picked up his speed.
"Take care of the small fry's! we'll handle metal!" Knuckles told Ulrich and the others.
"Right!" Odd shouted back, "Laser arrows!" He jumped up into the air and fired several into the mob of monsters, not aiming for any specific one.
Lasers were flying in every direction and the Lyoko warriors were doing their best to dodge them, with four towers needing deactivated they needed to conserve their points as best as they could.
Sonic and the Kolossus were still at each other's necks.
Sonic flew back and grunted. "This thing doesn't let up…" He sighed, "I'm not giving up yet! There's got to be a way to beat this thing!" Sonic looked down at the crowd watching him. "wow, I've built up quite the audience…" Something suddenly struck the golden hero, he missed this feeling. He missed the feeling of people cheering him on and people believing in him. Not just his friends, but everyone around him. He missed seeing the joy on people's faces. Sonic watched as people cheered him on and smiled. His expression grew to a confident one. "Hyaah!" He burst forward towards the Kolossus once more and launched a devastating punch to the monsters face.
A strike of lighting suddenly struck sonic. "AAAGGHH!" He shouted as he was shot into the ground. He groaned and slowly stood up, shaking off the pain. Sonic looked up at the colossus with determination in his eyes. He swore to himself he'd protect these people and that's just what he was going to do!
More lighting struck the colossus as it extended its hand, sonic readied himself for a bolt of lightning, but was surprised when the bolts of lightning struck the ground instead of him. The bolts of lightning turned into similar beams like the beam that brought the Kolossus. Emerging was monsters that originated from lyoko. "What? As if I didn't have enough to deal with!"
A Krab and Megatank emerged from the white beam the Kolossus created.
"It seems two new monsters have made themselves seen! We don't know what they are, but the golden hero seems determined to defeat them!" She said hopefully.
Metal sonic had his machine gun arm drawn, firing rapidly at shadow; who was racing by and was dodging all of the bullets metal had been shooting. From behind metal was knuckles who threw a hard punch to his face. He grunted, quickly looked at knuckles and grabbed his face. Metal took to the sky's and back to the ground, ramming knuckles into hard ice and flying forward dragging Knuckles across the icy ground. He finally tossed him away and fired a missile, hoping to finish him off.
"Chaos… SPEAR!" Shouted shadow as the yellow energy hit and blew up the missile.
"Knuckles, you're down thirty life points!" Jeremy warned.
"Got it!" Knuckles ran towards Metal and dug his fists into the ice-berg next to him. He grabbed a giant piece of ice and ran as fast as he could into metal sonic and smashed him against another glacier. Knuckles began to bash Metal sonic constantly with the piece of ice. "RAAAGGHH!" He was just about to smash again when metal's fist burst through the ice and slammed into knuckles' face. He slid across the ground.
Ulrich ran past several monsters with his swords, slicing left and right. "Yaaah!" He jumped up onto a Krab and shoved his sword deep into the eye of XANA. "Impact!" He shouted jumping off it. "Triplicate!" Ulrich turned into three and began to bring down more and more monsters.
Amy ran deep into the crowd and began to smack them away with her hammer, some she even crushed.
"WOOHOOO!" Odd shouted as he jumped off a Krab's head and fired dozens of arrows into the monsters, blowing up several in the process. "Yaah!" He jumped onto a Bloks head and scratched the eyes of XANA until it exploded. "Meow…" He licked his hand and laughed. "YEOW!" He was hit with a laser from a Kankrelot. "Why you little rat!" He punted it into the air and it exploded.
Shadow was charging up a chaos spear, the largest he's ever done. His hands were holding a large yellow ball that sparked. Metal was fighting knuckles and slowly getting the upper hand. His attacks were faster than knuckles' arms could block or dodge.
"UUGH…aagh…" Knuckles doubled over as Metal kneed him in the abdomen. He was down to fifty life points.
"DIE!" Metal kicked knuckles fiercely in the face, causing him to fall over to his back. Metal walked over and placed his foot on Knuckles' stomach and drew his gun. "I've had just about enough of you…"
"CHAOS! SPEAAARR!" Shadow threw the energy as hard as he could.
"Wh-Whaat? UUGGWAAAAAAHH!" The ball smashed into Metal sonic, launching him far across the map.
"I don't see him anymore on the screen guys! No one could survive that attack! You definitely devirtualized him! Great job!" Jeremy was ecstatic, with metal sonic gone, there was nothing to worry about! "Finish the job you guys! It should be a piece of cake now!"
Shadow smirked, walking over to Knuckles and helping him up. "You OK?" He had a smart alack face on.
"I'm fine… thanks shadow." He took his hand and stood up. "Let's finish this shall we?" Knuckles smirked as well.
Shadow and Knuckles both charged towards the crowd of monsters. Shadow noticed Aelita waiting for everyone to clear a path for her. "hmph… Let's speed this up!" Shadow dashed over to Aelita and scooped her up.
"A-Aah! Hey! What are you doing?" She shouted.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." He sent power to his jet boots and flew directly over the monsters, dodging lasers that came his way. "Do your stuff!" He flew to the ground and dropped her off. He turned around, his fingers glowing. "Chaos spear!" He swiped his hand as four beams rained over the monsters.
She looked up and nodded. She ran into the tower and did her thing.
C.O.D.E
L.Y.O.K.O.
Read the floating screen as others behind her fell into darkness.
"one tower down. Three to go Jeremy." She smiled and walked out of the tower. "C'mon! We've got to get to the desert sector and deactivate that tower! We can get there by using this tower! Follow me!" She said walking back into the tower.
The small group of hero's followed her.
"See? You just jump off, follow me!" She said with a smile as she jumped off.
Ulrich, Odd and Yumi knew there were no dangers as they had done it before. They followed without hesitation.
Knuckles and Amy on the other hand were a little hesitant to jump off…
"How about Jeremy just sends us—BAAAAAAAaaaacccckkk…" their voices disappeared as shadow pushed them off.
"Pansy's…" He jumped off and followed the group into the dark hole that lead to the other sectors.
Sonic was flying around in the air, being shot at by hornets. Being a great flier he was dodging them no problem, but more surrounded him and he stopped mid-air. "eeh…" he looked around. "This isn't good." Their lasers charged up and fired. "Oh hey! A penny!" He flew down quickly as all the lasers collided with the hornets, causing them to explode. "heh… I've always wanted to try that—AAAGH!" He was smashed into the ground by the Kolossus' giant fist. He groaned and stepped out of the small hole that was left from the fist, but as soon as he got out of the deep hole a mega-tank fired its deadly red beam. "AAAAHHGGG!" Sonic screamed as he flew into the air and smashed into a building and slid down onto the ground near the crowd. The crowd gasped in horror as they watched.
Sonic coughed. "I…I can't fight them all at once… Eggman's bots are flimsy… but… these monsters are so much more durable…" His arms shook as he struggled to pull himself together.
"You can do it Mr. Hero!" A voice shouted.
"H-Huh?" He looked over to the crowd that had gathered to watch, a child ran over to him with fear in his eyes.
"You can do it Mr. Hero! I know ya can!" He said innocently. "You're super strong! Super-fast! You can beat up any bad guy!" The child flexed his tiny muscles like a wrestler. The crowd behind him cheered the hedgehog on as well as the news reporter.
Sonic watched all of them and couldn't help but crack a smile. He pulled himself up and walked over to the child, kneeling down to his level. "You know what kid? You're right!" Sonic rubbed his hand over the child's head. "And don't worry! I'll show those bullies whose boss around here!" Sonic smirked, "And by the way! My name isn't Mr. Hero! It's Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog!"
The crowd went wild as sonic burst off in a magnificent golden light. "I told these people I'd protect them!" He burst through the mega-tanks powerful shield and a Krabs legs. They both exploded while sonic smirked. "And that's exactly what I'm going to do! I'll show you! I'll show you not to mess with Sonic the hedgehog! RRRAAAAHH!" Sonic's fist smashed into Kolossus' face, but sonic sent punch after punch, causing the monster to take steps backwards to avoid them.
The Kolossus threw its hand to smack sonic away, but Sonic's eye saw it coming. He turned around and grabbed and repelled the hand. With all his might he flew up into the air slowed to a stop and flew directly downwards. He launched a kick that smashed into the back of the Kolossus' head; it sent a shockwave throughout the small town and caused the Kolossus to fall over onto its face.
Sonic smirked, "How do you like them apples?"
The crowd was cheering as they watched their new hero defend them. But their cheering went into disgust as the Kolossus stood up once more. With all its wounds, and even a tower being deactivated the fight was beginning to take its toll on it, it was beginning to get slower and its attacks were weaker.
"You just keep getting back up to be smacked down!" Sonic grunted. "It doesn't matter; I won't let you hurt any of these people!" The gold hero tightened his muscles, getting ready to fight once more.
"Well you guys, it looks like Sonic's handling himself well fighting off the Kolossus and the monsters he's summoned! Just remember, the more we deactivate, the more sonic will be able to do!" Jeremy said into his microphone. "Keep it up guys!" Jeremy smiled. Things are actually working out for us! He thought with joy.
The group was plowing through XANA's army like a hot knife on butter. And Although they were handling the armies with no problem at all they were still taking their fair share of damage.
Life points:
Ulrich: 80
Shadow: 55
Knuckles: 30
Odd: 45
Amy: 60
Aelita: 90
Yumi: 70
"Odd, Knuckles, make sure to be careful, you two are the lowest!" Jeremy warned.
"Metal got me pretty good…" He said as he was punching some Bloks.
"Chaos… SPEAR!" More yellow spears were sent into the crowd, clearing the way for Aelita.
"GO, GO, GO!" He shouted.
"Right!" Aelita ran down the opening shadow made her. She was running as fast as she could, but was hit by a Krab's laser. "aah!" She shouted rolling out of the mob.
"Aelita!" Odd shouted, he ran over to help her but was hit by a Krab and Block, devirtualizing.
"Odd—AAAGGH!" Knuckles was hit in the back by a mega tanks deadly laser and was also devirtualized.
"Odd! Knuckles!" Jeremy shouted. "aww no! we still have two more towers!" Jeremy grabbed his head and shuffled his hair in fear. He took a deep breath and sighed. "It's ok…" Jeremy looked at the screen, all the monsters in the sector exploded as Aelita put in the code lyoko.
"two more Jeremy!" She smiled.
"Right… Just be careful guys…" Jeremy sighed.
The elevator opened up and Odd and Knuckles stumbled out.
"uugh… Sorry Jeremy…" Odd apologized.
"It's alright Odd, but while you're both here you can give some moral support for the rest of the group." Jeremy smirked, "And look how well sonic is handling himself against the Kolossus!" He pointed to the small news feed window on the top left part of the screen.
Knuckles chuckled. "He's in his element, nothing can stop him."
The mega-tank turned to the crowd of people and charged its deadly red laser.
Sonic turned and watched, he growled and flew over to the crowd and held his hands out. The mega-tank fired and sonic did his best to block it. "Hah! When I'm super sonic…" He took a step forward, "Your laser-" He took a few more step forwards. "-Is NOTHING!" He picked up his feet and flew towards the mega-tank pushing the laser back into the Mega-tank. It began to spark as sonic grabbed its body and closed it shut. "Let's see if I can get a STRIKE!" He grabbed hold of the mega-tanks body and began to spin around. He chucked the mega-tank directly into the Kolossus. It exploded causing the monster to step backwards. "Bulls eye!" The hero smirked.
Sonic flew down and grabbed a street light. "Hyeaah!" He shouted as he cut into a Krab. He spun the street light and launched it like a spear into three hornets, causing them to explode. "hah haaah!" He gave a confident look towards the monster; he could tell they were weakening. "No doubt thanks to Jeremy and the others…" He muttered to himself.
Fewer monsters were appearing and the Kolossus was getting weaker. "You can't Keep this up and you know it!" Sonic taunted.
The monster groaned and created more monsters. Sonic watched. "Hmm… something tells me that when he summons monsters his power gets drained…"
They were at mountain sector, the second to last tower that needed deactivating. XANA's army was getting smaller and weaker, controlling the Kolossus and directing an army was too much for just two towers. The group was dealing with the monsters as if they were nothing, with only two members down it was still easier than the last army they went through. A few lost points here and there but the group was holding up just fine against XANA's decreased numbers and weakened monsters.
Life points:
Ulrich: 60
Shadow: 45
Amy: 30
Aelita: 70
Yumi: 40
The tower was quickly deactivated causing the remaining monsters to explode. The group suffered minimal damage as they head off to the forest sector. The fourth and last tower.
They stepped out of the traveling tower and walked across the grassy forest sector.
"Hmm… There's the activated tower… " Shadow pointed, "But there's no one here…" He walked around slowly.
"Do you think XANA ran out of monsters?" Yumi walked up to him.
"I Doubt it!" Ulrich chimed in. "Jeremy, do you see anything?"
"Not a thing Ulrich, it's like he just gave up!" Jeremy studied the screen. "Stay on your guard guys; I smell a dirty XANA trap!"
They progressed slowly towards the activated tower when suddenly the firing of lasers was heard, shadow turned around to see four of the deadly Mega-tank beams heading towards Aelita and the group. "Watch out!" He shouted, but was too late as the four were struck. "AMY!"
"Yumi!" Ulrich rolled over onto the ground, everyone but shadow lost fifty life points, devirtualizing Amy and Yumi.
"Oh noo!" Jeremy shouted.
Ulrich watched Aelita lying on the ground, Aelita was trying to regain her composure from the sudden attack from the small group of five mega-tanks.
"I've had JUST about enough of this!" Shadow grabbed his cufflinks, two gold rings fell off.
"Wh-what are you doing shadow?" Ulrich asked, slowly standing up.
"I'm ending this." The black hedgehog burst forward at intense speeds, he stopped dead center in the middle of the five Mega-tanks, who began to charge their deadly attack.
Small rocks rose from the ground as shadow crossed his arms over his face. His body began to emanate a red glow. The mega-tanks fired their attack as shadow's eyes shot open. "Chaos… BLAAAASSSTT!" his attack collided with the mega-tanks' attack. The power struggled for a moment, but Shadow's attack proved far more powerful as it pushed back and destroyed the mega-tanks. The glow from the blast consumed the area as Ulrich shielded his eyes.
"Great job shadow!" Ulrich stood up and went to congratulate him, but stopped short. "Sh-Shadow you're—"
"I know… I figured that would happen…" his legs began to devirtualize, "I guess taking off my cufflinks was too much for this frail body to handle… but hey, most of my chaos attacks come with a price." His body was disappearing. "Finish the job Ulrich…" His head and arms finally disappeared.
Ulrich sighed. "Well… now that all that's over…"
"Time to finish the job!" Sonic shouted, he flew at full speed towards the Kolossus and readied a punch that he was sure to finish the job, but sonic was cut short when a hornet tackled his face, blocking his face. "Aagh! Get out of my face you stupid bug!" He stopped mid-air to throw it away from his face. He looked back at the Kolossus and his eyes shrunk. "Craaap!—" SMASH! The Kolossus' fist smashed sonic into the ground. It lifted its fist and smashed again, it did several times until it was sure the hedgehog was dead. But just to make sure, several hornets and Krabs gathered around the small crater that was left from the Kolossus' attacks and began to fire.
"Sonic!" Amy shouted. "I can't lose you again sonic! Please be OK!" Her eyes began to tear up.
Ulrich walked over to Aelita and held out his hand. "C'mon Aelita. Let's finish this once and for all…" He gave a weak smile as she grabbed his hand.
Jeremy's eyes went back to the screen, he was so distracted by the fight between sonic and the Kolossus he had forgotten to check the screen for monsters! "U-Ulrich! Watch out!"
"Wha—AAAH…." A blue metallic fist was shoved through Ulrich's chest. "AAH…UUGH…." He grabbed the hand as he began to devirtualize.
"You're pathetic…" Said the all too familiar voice.
"N…Nooo…." Ulrich groaned as he finally devirtualized.
"Ulrich!" Aelita shouted.
"Did you REALLY think that pathetic excuse for an attack would finish ME off?" Metal sonic chuckled.
Aelita watched in terror as metal sonic made short work of Ulrich, her last line of defense.
"Ulrich! NOOOO!" Jeremy shouted, he grabbed the computer screen. "This can't be happening! IT CAN'T!"
The crowd went silent as the monsters began to fire into the crater left by the Kolossus
Everything stopped, everything was still. The monsters stopped firing and the crowd watched the smoke filled hole.
Metal took a step forward to Aelita. "And so we meet at last…" He chuckled.
"St-Stay away!" She fired several pink energy balls, but metal swatted them away.
"With only 20 life points, and him having 40, she doesn't stand a chance!" Jeremy couldn't look. Suddenly, someone whispered into his ear. Jeremy looked at him and smiled. He began to rapidly type away at his keyboard.
The crowd was still watched the hole, some people were even crying. Their ray of hope seemed to have vanished.
Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot from the hole and up into the air. A golden hedgehog flew above once more. "I told you that I'd protect these people…"
"There's no point in struggling girl… You're end is inevitable…" His arm turned into the machine gun. "Say your prayers…" He aimed the gun to her.
"HEY METAL HEAD!"
He turned his head.
"AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO!" Sonic began to swirl into a ball; a powerful spindash was being formed.
"Super Sonic Speed!" He fired forward, moving at the speed of light it seemed.
"You talk too much." A yellow fox held a red arm cannon, fully charged and shining. "Better luck next time!" He fired a powerful golden beam that zoomed across the landscape and directly into metal.
"N-No! NNOOO!" Metal put his arms up to protect himself, but it was no match for tails' mighty blast. "NOOOOOAAAAAAGGGHHH!" He was immediately devirtualized.
"Now I'll show you! RRRRRUUAAAAAHH!" He uncurled and flew straight through the Kolossus with his arm extended in front of him.
The monster let out a loud groan of pain as sonic swooped up into the air, and straight back down, back into his spindash. He seemed to be like a giant buzz saw as he went straight down into the top of its head and out the bottom of its torso. He landed on one knee and used his hand for support.
The monster let out another groan of pain and exploded sending a white light that consumed the city and could even be seen from space.
Aelita took a deep breath, watching the golden beam fly deep into the sector and out of her sight, she looked over to Tails.
Tails ran over to Aelita, and helped her up. "Hey!" He smiled at her. "Let's go get that tower!"
She looked at him and smiled brightly. "Yeah!" She and him ran as fast as they could towards the tower. He began to spin his two tails and took flight. He grabbed her hands and went faster than they could run. "In ya go Aelita!" He did a back flip and launched her into the tower. She dove in like a spear and tumbled onto the small rings.
The crowd chanted his name as sonic stood up, smiling at everyone. The sun came out shining over the city and shining onto the golden hero. Everyone ran out and tackled the blue hero, hugging him and congratulating him. He smiled at everyone and patted the little boy who gave him encouragement on the head.
"I knew you could do it Mr. Sonic!" He hugged him tightly.
"You helped me back there you know that?" He smiled back to him. Something struck him suddenly. "Listen everyone, I have to leave now… but don't worry! I won't be leaving for good!" Sonic knew his super form wouldn't last much longer, so he used what little time he had to wave goodbye and took off into the sky's, towards the factory.
C.O.D.E
L.Y.O.K.O
Read the console, as the screens behind her fell for the last time. "Tower, deactivated Jeremy." Aelita smiled, tails was outside the tower.
"Man. That felt awesome!" He smiled with joy as he felt himself devirtualize.
Everyone in the room with Jeremy was cheering and hugging. "We did it!" they all shouted.
Jeremy smiled brightly as Aelita and Tails came up in the elevator. "Great job Tails! You totally surprised him!" Jeremy hugged him and Aelita. They hugged back. He sighed, "Whelp. Better activate return to the past…" He walked over to the super computer and began to type in the program for return to the past.
"Return to the past… N—"
"WAIT!" Sonic burst in, being his regular blue self.
Jeremy looked over, "What?"
"D-Don't do it!" Sonic was panting, looking over the group.
"Wh-what?" Jeremy looked at him. "Are you insane? You just fought the Kolossus in the city!" Jeremy stood up.
"Jeremy I'm begging you! You have no idea what it felt like!" Sonic walked over to him. "Jeremy ever since I came here I've missed that feeling, people cheering you on, people chanting your name!" Sonic smiled sweetly. "I know it's selfish and a little self-centered Jeremy." He sighed. "But I'm a hero! And when those people were chanting my name and cheering me on… I felt like I could do anything!"
The group watched him. Shadow was looking at him as well, thinking.
"Jeremy, they don't know about XANA, they don't know about you guys, they don't know I'm Scion! Please! After this you can do however many return to the pasts as you like, but I'm BEGGING you." He got to his knees. "Let them remember this moment! Let them have that memory of a hero to hang on to! When their darkest days come, let them have hope for a hero!" Sonic had his hands together and BEGGED Jeremy.
Jeremy looked over to his friends, who looked back to him. "Wh…What do you guys think?" Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other. Odd looked over to Knuckles.
Jeremy looked over to shadow. "Well?"
"I say let'em remember." Shadow said.
"Well… that's one vote." Jeremy said. He walked back over to his chair and sat down.
"Me to!" Amy chimed in.
"Yeah! We say it's A-OK!" Odd held up a thumb's up.
Sonic's eyes actually began to tear up.
Slowly, one by one, his friends and new friends gave him the A-OK.
"If we're going to do this, I want the decision to be Unanimous." Jeremy said. Everyone turned their attention to Aelita who looked left and right.
She looked over to sonic and walked over to him. Knowing their rocky passed, Aelita had trouble trusting the blue hedgehog and his friends. Of course now she had no trouble trusting him. She smiled as she took his hand. "Sonic, we've known each other for a few months now… and I can say that I'd trust you and your friends with my life." She smiled. "So I say…. Yes!" She turned around and smiled.
Sonic got ecstatic; he grabbed her and gave her the tightest hug he could possibly give. "Oh THANK you Aelita!"
She gasped for air.
"Oop! Sorry!" he let her go and she took a deep breath. She laughed, along with everyone else.
Jeremy chuckled. "Well then… The decisions been made." Jeremy hit the backspace key on the keyboard. "Let's go back to school; I'm sure they're looking for students now." They all walked into the elevator, sonic being happier than anyone else.
The group slipped into celebration where people were hugging and telling each other about the new hero who had saved them.
Sonic walked in from the forest he had forgotten to put on his disguise and people immediately noticed him.
"There he is! The hero who saved us!" someone pointed over to him.
"W-wait wha—WAAAGHH!" He was tackled by the group of people and put on the top of the crowd. He began to crowd surf as they all cheered his name. He gave a thumbs up to everyone as he was dropped off near Scarlet Garcia.
"Are you sonic the hedgehog?" She grabbed his hand and shook it.
"U-Um… yeah?" He smiled nervously.
"Oh it's great to finally meet you! I'm scarlet Garcia and I would just LOVE if you would like to do an interview with me!" She shook his hand furiously smiling the biggest smile she had ever given.
"U-Um… sure! But I can't do it now…" He laughed nervously. "Why don't we just do it later OK? I'd like some time to myself if you don't mind." He was giving a big nervous smile.
"Of course Mr. Hedgehog! Please, anytime at all will be great!" She stood up. "There you have it folks! The blue hero who saved us all wanting to take a breather after his magnificent battle with the giant monster and its minions!" She smiled. "We await his great words and—" She stopped and looked around "Where'd he go…"
He was behind a tree and laughing. "Aahh… I love doing that…" He looked around and picked up rock, under rock was a deep hole hiding his clothes. "Gotta get back to the school…" He quickly dressed up and caught up with Jeremy and the others.
"Mr. Delmas all the students are here and accounted for sir!" Jim said into the walkie talkie. "Right, Ok then sir." He put the device into his pocket and grabbed a mega phone. "Everyone! Due to recent events, class has been cancelled today and tomorrow! On Friday there will be a dance to celebrate! Of course, it will be free of charge!" Jim smiled, "Go and enjoy yourselves!" He shouted.
The students cheered as they ran out into the courtyard, some headed to their dorms to just lie down. The small group of friends who had fought the battle went to Jeremy's room to sit and relax, they deserved it.
The days seemed to pass like seconds. There had been no XANA attacks during the week of celebration and the group enjoyed the relaxation and celebration. They had gone to parks, out to see more of the city. They played games and watched some TV. It was a week of pure happiness. They knew it was only temporary, but they enjoyed what they could.
Friday had finally come along; Yumi was going with Ulrich, Aelita with Jeremy. Tails was, once again, the technical stage hand. Knuckles and Shadow went to the party alone, but they didn't care.
The music was blasting; everyone was dancing and having fun. It was about half-way through the party that sonic had noticed Amy was nowhere to be found. "Hmm... where is she?" He climbed the stairs leading to the roof. "Amy?" He asked opening the door. He saw her sitting on the edge of the roof, looking into space. He smiled and slowly closed the door. Sonic walked over and sat next to her and looked up at the stars with her.
"They look amazing… don't they?" She looked over to him and smiled.
He smiled along with her. "Yeah… They do look nice…"
They sat in silence for hours it seemed when in reality it was just a few minutes.
Sonic sighed and looked at Amy. "Amy… I—"
"Why did you leave?" She looked up to him with tears in her eyes.
Sonic was taken aback; he didn't expect her to be so upset but understood nonetheless. "Amy, I left because—"
"Sonic… I was miserable without you!" She looked at him.
He sighed, "I'm sorry Amy…" He looked away from her for a moment. "I left… I left because of what happened a week ago." He looked into her eyes. "That day… Was an awful one."
She watched him. She knew what he was talking about, but didn't entirely understand.
"That day will forever be burned in my memory Amy… you had this look in your eyes… A look I've never seen you make. You…" He took a deep breath and looked at her once more. "It looked like you hated me… you were about to say it Amy…"
"I…I would never hate you!" She got closer to him. "Why would I ever hate you?"
"Because of the awful friend I've been lately… Just like you told me Amy, I was using you. I knew that you liked me, so I used it to my advantage to keep me from talking to Sissi." His expression turned to a sad one. "When I left for that week Amy… I thought about a lot of things… I thought about our new friends, I thought about this new dimension we're in and if we'd ever get to go back home." He looked out to the stars. "I thought about you a lot to…"
Her ear perked up as he heard her say that.
He looked at her with a smile, "I know it's weird of me, asking this now… but Amy… if it's alright with you…" He grabbed her hand. She looked down at her hand; her heart began to race as she looked up to him. "I'd like to know if… maybe…" he scratched the back of his head. "M-Maybe we could give us a try?" He began to blush as he looked at her.
She could hardly contain herself she wanted to jump and squeeze him to death. "Y-You mean… like…"
"Yeah…" His expression turned into a peaceful one as he looked at her. They both began to lean in until suddenly their lips met. It was a dream come true for Amy and for sonic a new beginning.
Their lips parted as they looked out over the city as fireworks flew into the sky and exploded.
They both watched and smiled. Sonic's arm rested on Amy's shoulder, it seemed like their timing was perfect. They stayed on the roof for hours until the party came to an end.
The students of Kadic Academy left the school auditorium talking about the new hero and other things going on in their lives.
The lyoko warriors went to their respective dorms and soon slept, getting ready for the challenges coming in the near future, XANA would only get stronger and they were ready to rise up and defend their city.
